What is a centiinch used for?

A centiinch is used to express dimensions at a finer scale than whole inches, often in manufacturing, machining, or graphic layouts where hundredths of an inch are convenient.

Why convert centiinch to hand?

Converting centiinch to hand helps relate precise small-inch measurements to the traditional length unit used mainly for measuring horse heights.

Is the hand unit internationally recognized?

The hand is a traditional unit mainly used in equestrian contexts and is standardized for that purpose but is not widely used in international measurement systems.
